ONE starry, frosty, bleak December night, I stood upon a hill-top far away, And looked into the valley from this height, Upon the town that now in slumber lay. The moon hung low behind the western pines, And cast her silvery light in slantingibeams, That traced upon the window such designs As one might pencil only in his dreams. The cracking ice in yonder lake, I heard, I heard the wind go whispering through the trees, And oft the screech of some mysterious bird Would come to me along the cool, crisp breeze. Alone, I was, out in the frosty night, A silent witness of that mystic sight. G. B. R. 0 7

Again we are going up the Walk to Groveside, seeing the lights shine through the trees and hearing the strains of the music of the orchestra. Now we are meeting Mr. and Mrs. Boyden and the teachers who for four years have given us the help and guidance which We appreciate now and shall value more and more as the years go on.

Again we are in the dining room, enjoying a dainty collation and admiring the little silk flags which were given to us as souvenirs as we entered the room. All too soon we were saying good-night, thanking our principal and teachers, with our lips, for a very pleasant evening, and in our hearts, for all they have ever done for us, and walking slowly across to the quadrangle, where we sing the old college songs for the last time. A Alma Mater floats out on the still June air, and the Faculty Reception has been written indelibly in the memory of each graduate of the class of 1911. S. G. C., 'l1. Uhr Hrnmvnahr. N the evening of a day in which event had followed event so closely 1 that there was no time to think what each meant, came Prom. At the hour set for the affair a shower did its best, though unsuccess- fully, to dampen the spirits of the merry people wending their way to the dear old Gym. One could not have been present and missed the cheerful spirit of it all. 1 1 The gymnasium was adorned with cool green pine boughs, and here and there the crimson banners gave a welcome. From some unseen corner above the hum of voices came the sound of music. Mr. Albert G. Boyden and Mr. and Mrs. Arthur C. Boyden, together with the presidents of the graduating classes, received and welcomed all the graduates and their friends. After the reception was over, the various groups of people began to form in a long line, which,
